When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] pass through, the bar will disappear. This has basically two effects: First, the gate serves as a save point. If the player loses a life in a level of which he had cut the Midway Gate bar before, he will restart just at the midway point. Second, if Mario or Luigi cuts the bar when being in their [[Small Mario|small form]], they will turn into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] and Super Luigi, respectively. When restarting at the Midway Gate, the bar will be missing, though. Midway Gates do not appear at all in auto-scrolling levels, underwater levels (in the original version of ''Super Mario World''), or in the Star World or Special World. | ||
